NEW CAR SALES | EXCEED LAST YEAR'S Margin of June Trucks Bought Equals All Purchased in Five Months of 1928 Now car sales in North Dakota dur- ing June exceeded new car sales in June of 1928 but by a less substantial: margin than had t:en recorded in previous months, according to a study by a local business service company from the records of the state automo- bile registrar. New truck sales dur- ing June exceeded the figures for June, 1928, by almost as large a mar- gin as was established during the pre- j ceding five months of the present year. The number of new passenger cars registered was 2,985 as compared with 2,948 for June, 1928. Last month’s registrations brought the total sales of new automobiles in North Dakota this year to 15,012 as compared with 10,825 for the corresponding period a year ago. New truck registrations totaled 328 as cqmpared with 269 for June a year ago and brought the total to 2,072 as compared with 1,137 for the first six months of 1928. Cass county led the list with 230 passenger car sales and 23 truck sales. New registrations from other lead- ing counties follow: Barnes, 90 cars and 15 trucks; Burleigh, 95 cars and 2 trucks; Grand Forks, 128 cars and 11 trucks; Morton, 75 cars and 9 trucks; Ramsey, 55 cars and 8 trucks; Stutsman, 102 cars and 6 trucks; Ward, 168 cars and 14 trucks.

Similar stories of paternal devotion have somehow been neglected. We often become a little conscience stricken when we think of the inglorious reputation vider—that and nothing more. Rare- ly do we hear of him as & glorified person in the sense that he is con- fronted with a spiritual struggle which will allow him to make a mar- ag himself for the sake of his child. Columbia Pictures has taken this unusual theme for “Father and Son,’ logue and music, which is coming to the Capitol Theatre on Monday with Jack Holt, Dorothy Revier and McBan.
